Apolipoprotein Evaluation
Clinical Use
Order TestUse
Measurement of Apolipoprotein A1 and Apolipoprotein B, and the ApoB/A1 ratio, provides insight into cardiovascular risk and lipid metabolism. Apolipoprotein A1 is inversely associated with coronary heart disease risk, while elevated Apolipoprotein B is associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk.
